Planning a vegetable trip
How it works
Most farms weigh what you pick at a stand on the way out, or sell by the container. Staff will tell you which rows or blocks are open that day.
Picking conditions change day to day with weather and how busy the previous weekend was. A quick phone call beats any published calendar.
What to bring
- Cash — smaller farms often prefer it
- Closed shoes and clothes you don't mind getting dirty
- Water and sun protection
